Good article, nicely shot and edited video, Fonzie. - Duke; you're really starting to look "comfortable" with a monologue in front of the camera. Still doin' the peepee dance a bit, but overall about 10,000% better than the first time I saw you in a vid. I'd only worry about it if you want a career as the host of The Tonight Show, or were gonna co-star in Mad Max IV: Maximum Madness.

Hard choice, were I looking for a Supersport. I'd lean a bit toward the Triumph tho, as I like "different" - 'cuz "different" is Good.

Nothing to see here, Citizen. Move along now...

The ergos on the Daytona 675 are too uncomfortable for me. Maybe with Helibars. So if I were buying a new bike and were comparing a Triumph 6XX and a Kawi 6XX, it'd be between the Street Triple and the ZX-6R. Not sure which one I'd get.

Interesting review. Both bikes have strong points, but they are different designs and as a result have different characteristics. Good on Triumph to make a middleweight that is charismatic and different and yet competitive with Japan's best, at a competitive price too, no less.

My pick of these two would the the Daytona. Nothing wrong with the ZX, but the Triumph just looks like it would be more interesting and fun to own and ride over the years.

I would love to see some "675 think" in a liter class sport triple from Triumph. That would be one helluva bike.
